Wallingford is the hottest place for trick-or-treating in Seattle, according to an analysis by Zillow.com.

Zillow told us Monday that Seattle is the best city in the nation for trick-or-treating based on home value, neighborhood walkability, crime statistics and other factors. Tuesday, the real-estate website released a neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdown of the city’s prime spots for collecting candy on Halloween.
